Summary

‘Nora Breen will become a favourite character’ Ian Moore
‘A glorious read’ Amanda Mason
‘Nora Breen is Maria Von Trapp on steroids’ Richard Armitage

Sharp-eyed former nun Nora Breen is back, as the latest attraction in Gore-on-Sea turns deadly . . .

On a brilliant December morning, Nora finds her customary seaside walk rudely interrupted: she’s been summoned, with Detective Inspector Rideout, to the home of Doreen Chimes, Gore-on-Sea’s resident medium. Chimes would like to report a robbery – and to personally invite Rideout to that evening’s private séance.

It’s an invitation he will regret accepting: the evening ends in a suspiciously spooky murder. And in the coming days, more of the attendees will find themselves in peril. Can Nora figure out who – or what – is behind these spectral killings before it’s too late?

Critic Reviews

Nora Breen is back and it’s as if she never went away . . . it’s a glorious read, filled with richly drawn characters, laugh out loud dialogue, and moments of heart-rending poignancy. Jess Kidd has a shrewd eye for the mysteries of the human heart, a warm affection for life’s eccentrics, and a turn of phrase to die for. I love this series and cannot wait to find out what Nora does next.

Amanda Mason

Critic Reviews

Kidd’s narrative is absorbing, and the overall tone is a blend of bright dialogue and the dark shadows of the many lost and lonely souls in an England still recovering from the traumas of WWII

Booklist, starred review

Critic Reviews

The colorful cast of characters, including several carry-overs from the series debut, is complemented by polished, measured prose and rich, affectionate descriptions of the seaside setting and village milieu . . . A stylish cozy mystery that both comforts and delights

Kirkus

Critic Reviews

Kidd has fun dreaming up apparently impossible deaths for her victims, and the resolution satisfies. For cozy fans, this is a treat

Publishers Weekly

Critic Reviews

Proper, joyous, cosy crime, about a seance gone wrong. Silly and readable

YOU Mag

Critic Reviews

With engaging characters, humour and unexpected twists in the tale, this works well as a stand-alone novel
